Job Description:

Are you looking for a rewarding role that’s a little different from the norm? Make a real difference in a young person’s life!

Classroom Recruiters are looking for passionate and experienced individuals to become 1:1 Nurture Tutors, supporting children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

This is a fantastic opportunity for people who enjoy building positive relationships, providing tailored support and helping young people who may struggle to access mainstream education.

The Role

• Pay: Up to £22.50 per hour.
• Hours: Typically between 9am and 3pm, offering reduced working hours and a great work-life balance.
• Days: 3–5 days per week.
• Long-Term Placement: You will be placed with a young person for the whole academic year, allowing you to build a strong, consistent relationship. Placements may continue year on year, providing the opportunity to make a lasting difference.
• 1:1 Support: Build trusting relationships with young people and provide individualised support based on their needs.
• Community-Based Learning: You must be able to drive and have access to your own vehicle, as you may need to collect children from their homes and transport them to local learning centres or community settings.
• Home-Based Learning: In some cases, you may deliver sessions directly from the young person’s home.
• Personal Development: Help children develop their confidence, engagement, social skills and readiness to learn.

What We’re Looking For

We're looking for the right people, not just qualified Teaching Assistants! If you have the patience, understanding and passion to support young people, we'd love to hear from you.

We welcome applications from people with a range of professional backgrounds, including:

• SEND Teaching Assistants and Learning Support Assistants.
• Support Workers and Youth Workers.
• Sports Coaches and Activity Leaders.
• Residential Support Workers.
• Care Workers and those with experience in children's services.
• Individuals with experience supporting children or young people with additional needs, challenging behaviour or social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs.

You will also need:

• Experience supporting children or young people, ideally those with SEND or additional needs.
• A patient, adaptable and nurturing approach.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle.
• A genuine passion for helping young people overcome barriers to education.

Don't have a Teaching Assistant qualification? Don't let that put you off! If your background has given you the skills to engage, motivate and support young people, we want to hear from you.

• Competitive pay of up to £22.50 per hour.
• Reduced working hours, typically 9am–3pm.
• Flexible working patterns of 3–5 days per week.
• Consistent, long-term placements throughout the academic year, with the potential to continue year on year.
